Ben Goldberg (music) is a New York-based composer. A storyteller though music, his compositions often use extra-musical elements to communicate to the listener. His works have been performed by the Central Ohio Symphony, Reno Philharmonic Youth Strings Symphonia, Susanville Symphony, and UC Davis Symphony Orchestra. His composition Reconnecting, scored for drum circle and orchestra, has been featured in Symphony magazine, and at presentations for The League of American Orchestras and Percussive Arts Society national conferences. He was the winner of the 2013 Susanville Symphony Composition Competition, American Composers Category, and selected as the only orchestral Composer Fellow for the 2015 UC Davis Music and Words festival and Composition Workshop. He was one of three composers selected for the Lexington Philharmonic’s 2016 New Music Experiment, where they performed his composition Declaration. Goldberg’s music has been featured internationally in films, television programs, podcasts, video game apps, and advertisements. His four feature-length film scores include Broadway’s Finest which earned him best original score honors at the 2012 Long Island International Film Expo. His music has been broadcasted in over thirty countries and heard on Animal Planet, CBS, FOX, NBC, HBO, The History Channel, Tokyo Broadcasting System, and children’s home videos.
